This Phising Attack is Almost Impossible to Detect...

A Pollack-inconsistency is a proof that's presented, but you did something like fuck up the theorem display code so that it makes out that you proved something you didn't.

Out-of-the-box, HTTPs is Pollack inconsistent.

Remember the problem we discussed about links in gmail would just die in chrome, turns out it was conflicts with HTTPS Everywhere and Ghostery. They both were trying redirects and this caused conflicts.

HTTPS is still a good idea though, it might not be foolproof, but every bit of extra protection helps, one more hurdle for the exploits to deal with.
